How large of a external monitor are you running?

What is the largest size monitor and resolution you guys are running on a imac g5 isight ( if you have one). I want to see how large I can go.

I think it might be fine for showing video. Probably not good for computing purposes, where it has to display things like text. An HDTV of that size would be 1080p, which is 1920x1080. So even if you could use the whole display, it would not be the native resolution. Most 23" to 24" displays are 1920x1200, which is the same resolution as the Intel 24" iMac models. Again, even if you could use the whole display, it would be fuzzy because its not the native resolution.
And the output is VGA, not adaptable to HDMI or DVI (digital) like on Intel iMacs, so the HDTV or computer display would need to have VGA input. I know someone who has a 19" display that is native 1440x900, and has both DVI and VGA inputs. It's a Samsung 906BW. He likes it because the pixels are not too small; helps with his vision. I think that's about as large as they come at a native 1440x900, and that's only two inches bigger than the iMac's built-in display.
You're probably better off putting the funds for a display toward a used, new, or refurb Intel iMac (or maybe a Mac mini).

How large of an Ethernet Switch can you add to an Airport Extreme gigabit router?

I have a gigabit Airport Extreme router. I like using the Airport Utility to control my network. I want to convert a large number of wireless connections to wired ethernet devices, about 24. The reason is that I just get too many wireless dropouts, and I need a more reliable network. I am looking for the best way to design this. It seems like adding a gigabit Ethernet switch is the easiset and best way to accomplish this. My questions are:
1. How large of a gigabit switch can you add to the LAN port of an Airport Extreme: 24-port, 48-port?
2. How far down can you cascade switches? In other words, can I connect three 5-port switches (level 1 switches) to the three LAN ports on the Airport Extreme, and then connect more 5-port switches to the level 1 switches?
3. What are the performance implications for either design. Can you achieve gigabit performance with these designs?
Thanks for the help.

I have a network with an Extreme base station, 3 Extreme wired extenders and 1 express wired extender - in the mix are four 24 port gigabit switches and two 8 port gigabit switches - so you can add as much as you want within the limits of the internal IP address range which is controling the number of devices on the network.

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"

Portal 7.3 masthead customization - How to remove Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I have recently upgraded our portal to 7.3 sps10 and we are using the Ajax framework
I have a requirement to Remove the Logoff Dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?"
I am able to Import masthead.war into NWDS and get the project ready for development with the appropriate jar and libraries.
I am able to deploy the project also. I need help finding How to turn this dialog box off and just log the user off. I was able to accomplish this in Classic frame work page HeaderiView.jsp.
I have looked at afpmasthead.org.sj and masthead.jsp. I am not a js/jsp developer.
I can see the logoff dialog box being created but I am having trouble finding the logoff code.
Please advise me on the code changes required to remove the Logoff dialog box "Are you sure you want to logoff?" from the Ajax framework.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Sarah

Thank you Troy for your Helpful Threads.
Problem Solution:
Followed the thread on How to download and change AFP Masthead on SAP Portal 7.3
Located the file which contains the logoff code from thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3265584
The File with the Logoff coding in it is a Javascript file afpmasthead.js
Identified logoff code without dialog box using this thread https://scn.sap.com/thread/3307601
NovaDialogBox.performLogout(); (perform logoff)
I was able to remove the Logoff dialog box Do you really want to logoff? And replace it with logging the user off.
afpmasthead.js All the code is on 1 line, To fix this go to -->Source -->Format
Comment out the following lines of code and replace with logoff code
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
logoffLinkElement.onmouseup= function(aS) {
NovaDialogBox.performLogout();

Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adaptersuch as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
However, that article says:
Six Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch), Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch), or third-party Mini DisplayPort displays.
So it appears you can with active dual-link DVI adopter or monitors with a display/min displayport connection.

Are you running 4 GB?!

With the recent AMD price dump I am planning to give my old Diamond some more umph with a x2 4600+ and some more memory.
After reading several posts in here I am a hesitant to go for 4 GB. I have XP-64 so I should be able to see all the memory. But according to the posts it is a bit fifty-fifty if there will be an performance penalty with all 4 banks filled; DDR400->DDR333, 1T->2T etc
Some posts states that the modules have to be single sided; but I have found nothing else on the net that backs that statement.
And besides looking at the different manufactorers pages I can't find this information!!
Been looking at:
Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO
Corsair TWINX2048-4000PT
So I need advice...
Are you running 4 GB? at what speeds? which memory?
Thanks

Jan,
Let me say again, and this is a proven fact:
Adding more RAM when you comp is not using the RAM you currently has, does 0 for performance and in some cases slow the comp down.
Take Care,
Richard
Very true...
I seem to remember reading somewhere that BF2's "sweet spot" was at 2GB anyway. Any more, as Richard & others said, seriously impacts performance due to the memory controller limitation when all slots are occupied - that's an AMD thing, not mobo related.
Allegedly it IS possible to run 4GB at rated speed but you need single sided RAM to do it - but when's the last time you saw a single sided 1GB RAM stick?
You can always see if you need that extra RAM for anything else by observing the page file usage under the "Performance" tab in Task Manager while you're doing whatever. If it exceeds the amount of installed RAM, then the extra expense my be worth it in your case.

Error: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."

I have received to following error from at least three different applications when they have attempted to auto-update recently: X "does not have permission to write to the application's directory! Are you running off a disk image? If not, ask your system administrator for help."
I am not running off a disk image and I have admin privileges... Not sure what the problem is, but it just started happening (a week or two ago) and I have never previously had a problem with these applications auto-updating. I have repaired permissions and attempted other "fixes" found on the interweb, but nothing works. Also, this is only happening on my iMac (27" Intel i5) and not my MacBook Pro (17" Intel i5) -- both are running Lion. Please help!

If you updated using the default install (merge) from before Tiger, you may be seeing an issue that we saw when Leopard first came out last year.
Not sure of the fix - it was not simple - but if you search back in these forums you might find something that will help. I believe it deals with the numbers assigned to accounts (501, etc).
If you open your Accounts Preferences and unlock the padlock, right-click Advanced Options and read your User ID and Group ID. Let us know what they are.
Now, in the other user admin account, do the same thing.
One of the real experts who knows much more about this than I may be able to then help.

How to setup dual external monitors on a MacBook Pro 15" A1398?

Need to setup dual monitors for my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display A1398. I am in instructional designer and need the larger display from dual monitors. I think the best way is to connect using a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter in the two Thunderbolt ports or HDMI out of the one HDMI port and the other using a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. I have two Thunderbolt ports, two USB ports and one HDMI port. How do I setup OS X Mavericks for this as well. I want to run it in clamshell mode. Wondered if there are any better or easier ideas?
With peace and love,
Sam K.

Hi! I recommend you using both thunderbolt ports with their HDMI adapters, i don't know why but in my case it has worked better than having one monitor connected on one thunderbolt port and another on the HDMI port. As for the clamshell mode I recommend you this articles: Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display and http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/08/quickly-enter-clamshell-mode-with-an-external-dis play-in-mac-os-x/.
This are a few recommendations:
1. Use a usb mouse and keyboard, because sometimes bluetooth ones are not that trusty
2. You could buy one of the fancy things (you can see one on the second article) that hold your macbook up to prevent overheating. If you can't afford one or you don't to buy one, you can prop your macbook with some books on the side of the union between the lid and the keyboard (i don't know the word in english) and a very heavy one on the other side.

How to configure 2 external monitors with X1 Carbon

I have a brand new X1 Carbon (Generation 1 3444-CYU), and I also have the docking station. My intention is to be able to have the laptop cover closed, and to use the power switch on the top of the docking station to start (apply power to) the laptop, and to have the output be driven to two DVI monitors.
At this point, I'm able to have the laptp drive the main screen (part of the laptop) and the two external monitors, but I cannot seem to figure out how to use the docking station to "start/boot" the PC, and to have the bootup sequence, and other subsequent display presented on the two DVI screens only.
As I've been looking through the knowledge base, I'm surprised that there are not simply a series of articles that describe the various options for configuring monitors, so I'm forced to post this request. Can someone help?
thanks

I see this is an old post, but I figured I'd respond in case someone else is having the same problem.
There is a setting in the BIOS where you can have the X1 power on automatically when you plug it into the dock. I believe the setting is called something to the affect of "Power On When Connected to A/C." This solves the problem you and describing and I have been using with successfully with a dual monitor set up.
